A U.S. marine died as a result of a non-combat related incident on Saturday, the U.S. military said in a statement on Monday.
The statement gave no further details, but said the name of the deceased is being withheld pending notification of next of kin by the U.S. Department of Defense.
The latest non-combat related death is the second on Saturday as the military announced in an earlier statement the death of another soldier in the day.
About 4,211 U.S. soldiers have been killed in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003, according to media count based on Pentagon figures.
